    Fresh flowers are used every week to practise and perfect displays and creations, with some materials also being sourced from the estate gardens.

    If you are looking to improve on existing skills or even if you are starting with little knowledge this course is a great steppingstone towards a career in floristry.

  • What skills will I develop?

    This course covers a wide variety of topics and skills based assessments that allows you to develop a greater understanding of both the practical element of a florists trade as well as understanding the wider opportunities and possibilities the industry offers.
